It has a storage capacity of 1.5TB or 3TB, depending on the tape format used. The drive is compatible with LTO 5 tape format, which is a widely used tape format that offers high storage density and long-term data preservation.
The drive also uses SAS 6GB/S interface, which is a high-speed data transfer protocol that enables fast data transfer rates between the tape drive and the host computer. This allows for quick and efficient data backup and recovery operations.
In terms of compatibility, the TC-L52AN-EY Quantum tape drive is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac. It is also compatible with a variety of tape backup software and data management tools, making it an versatile and reliable option for data storage and archiving.
Interface and Data Transfer Speeds
The TC-L52AN-EY Quantum 1.5TB/3TB LTO 5 SAS 6GB/S HH Internal Tape Drive is a high-performance tape drive that uses the LTO (Linear Tape-Open) technology. It is designed to be used as an internal drive in a server or other computer system.
The drive has a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and a data transfer speed of 6GB/s. This means that it can transfer data to and from the drive at a high speed, allowing for fast backups and data restoration. The drive also has a native storage capacity of 1.5TB and a compressed storage capacity of 3TB, meaning that it can store a large amount of data.
The “HH” in the product name stands for “Half-Height”, which refers to the physical size of the drive. Half-height drives are smaller in size than full-height drives and are designed to be used in space-constrained environments, such as small form factor (SFF) servers or workstations.
